What is psorisis, and what is the treatement for this?

Answer 1

Psoriasis is an incurable but usually controllable autoimmune disorder in which your skin grows much faster in areas of your body than it can shed the old cells, much faster than the normal rate of skin growth. The result is dry, scaley patches of skin in those areas that itch and sometimes blister. This can be very severe or very mild, and it can swing back and forth between being severe and mild. It can also develop inside the body on the organs. Treatment can include steroid ointment and/or lotion for the body and/or scalp, tar ointment and/or shampoo for the body and/or scalp (this is very harsh on sensitive skin and fragile hair and can also stain your skin and hair and has never worked well for me though I know others who it has worked well for), and sunlight. When mine starts acting up, I will lay under a tanning bed a few times. The idea is to get to the point just BEFORE you burn. DON'T let yourself burn, because that can make it much worse. You have to start off slow with a tanning bed and find out what your limit is before attempting this approach, but this is what works best for my skin. Salicylic acid shampoo and lotion for the hair (Dermarest) also is good.

I am 48 years old. I have had psoriasis since 17 and have tried many types of treatments. The best treatment that worked for me was from a book written by a chiropractor from Englewood Cliffs NJ. Phone# [phone]. His name is Dr. John Pagano.
It all has to do with diet and cleansing . When I decided to try his therapy plan I had just finished treatment with my dermatologist, 3 months in his office 2x per week for phototherapy,injections, steroid cremes etc. ...very expensive, I was cleared up and the Dermatologist told me that it was up to me to keep it that way and it had nothing to do with food......B.S. It was the end of the summer and my garden was full of nightshade plants. well within a week and a half my psoriasis came back with a vengence. I remembered my aunt had told me about Dr. Pagano, she met him at a health fair. So I called and bought his book I followed the diet in it and it didn't even take one month for me to be completely psoriasis free I also lost 15 lbs. Apparently I had food allergys Good Luck

Psoriasis is a disease that takes place when the body’s immune system mistakenly believes healthy skin cells to be enemy cells and starts to produce many more new cells to replace these cells. This is the reason why there is no cure for psoriasis and medications applied to treat psoriasis are only able to remove the symptoms temporarily. Don't go the "cream route", it's only just a waste of time and money. Been there Done that!

You need to read "Psoriasis Free For Life" by Katy Wilson if you want to cure your psoriasis for good. Available online also @ http://www.psoriasisforeverfree.com It's a book that shows you how to cure psoriasis naturally in a few days. I cured my psoriasis permanently in 6 days after reading this book. Good luck!

There are many, many treatments and some work for some people, and others never get relief. Sorry, but that is fact. The new biologics that have come out have helped many a sufferer, including me. I was 85% covered and now only my scalp is a bit of a problem. I inject Enbrel twice a week and stay clear. There is also Raptiva, Humira, Remicade, and maybe one or two others.

Answer 6

You don't say whether the psorisis is actually on your feet. If not, I don't think it's anything to do with your psorisis. If it is on your feet, I suggest that you go to your gp and ask him/her to refer you to a skin specialist. I've got psorisis and have been referred to a specialist in the past. They have a number of things they can try. I agree with the use of Dovabet, but over a long period it's best to rotate it with a non-steroidal cream to avoid "getting used to it". Either way, I do recommend a skin specialist. Don't follow my example though - the reason I still have psorisis is because half the time I can't be arsed to use the bloody cream!

Its a skin condition that causes chapping and cracking or bleeding.

Abraiding the area with sandpaper is the only treatment I've seen work.

Try using dandruff shampoo on it (a hairdresser told me this), or, try some tea tree oil -- found at walmart. stinks to high heaven but according to First magazine, it works.
